“A gem of a place, fab host, fab view, immaculate and comfy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

person found this review helpful

From the moment we arrived and the incredibly warm greeting afforded by the owner Leanne we were impressed. The motel is a little way out of town but who cares, the view of the bay from our room was just fabulous.

The room itself is huge, seriously huge, decorated very simply and tastefully with a full kitchen and extremely clean bathroom. It has a nice feel and the owner clearly has added the personal touches - carton of milk in the fridge for drinks, informative folder with all the details of the area. There is also a large hot tub at the back of the property.

We stayed the night before in a "boutique" b&b and this beats it hands down. It is nice to arrive somewhere where so much care and attention shows and to such a warm welcome.

Gorgeous Views, the sunset was amazing everyone out on their decks taking photos - The rooms are spacious and very clean. This is a quiet motel with a great heart and wonderful hosts who are happy to help.

Room Tip: Ask for Unit four or five - feel like you are sitting on the water

“Great View, Great Hosts, Well Equipped Rooms---spend a week!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This was a very clean well run spot, quiet and what a view the sunsets are stunning. The beds were firm, the kitchen well equipped, everything tidy and clean. They have a spa and a full laundry facility including a nice line to use outdoors. The hosts were so nice we didn't want to leave! It's a great location if you love seafood and hiking, walk into town and get a few of those luscious mussels and have a meal. There are quite a few things to do and many great hikes to take in the area. Leanne will help you plan out your visit and is quite helpful and kind. The weather wasn't so great when we were there but the surrounding and view made it great just the same. Lots of people come here for a longer stay and we can see why!

A friend from Whidbey Island recommended this place to us, she had seen it leaving the Coromandel a few years ago and she's heading there after our rave review.

“Beautiful views, friendly staff and many things to do”

Great view of the harbour from the room. It has been the best accommodation that I have stayed in while in New Zealand. Bikes, BBQ and spa free to use, and also activities to do on a rainy day such as puzzles. It is quite far from town but the 30 minute walk to town through the bush is not bad (another photo opportunity), and the host will happily take you into town for cheaper than a taxi.
